Extractions: Ralph Waldo Ellison was born March 1, 1914 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to Lewis Alfred and Ida Millsap Ellison. At the beginning of this century, Oklahoma had not been a state for very long and was still considered a part of the frontier. Lewis and Ida Ellison had each grown up in the South to parents who had been slaves. The couple moved out west to Oklahoma hoping the lives of their children would be fueled with a sense of possibility in this state that was reputed for its freedom. Though the prejudices of Texas and Arkansas soon encroached upon Oklahoma, the open spaces and fighting spirit of the people whom Ellison grew up among did provide him with a relatively unbiased atmosphere. The death of Lewis Ellison in 1917 left Ida, Ralph, and his younger brother Herbert quite poor. To support the family, Ida worked as a domestic and stewardess at the Avery Chapel Afro-Methodist Episcopal Church. The family moved into the parsonage and Ellison was brought into close contact with the minister's library. Literature was a destined medium for Ellison, whose father named him after Ralph Waldo Emerson and hoped that he would be a poet. His enthusiasm for reading was encouraged over the years of his youth by his mother bringing books and magazines home for him from the houses she cleaned. In addition, a black episcopal priest in the city challenged the white custom of barring blacks from the public library and the custom was overturned. Ellison's horizons were broadened to a world outside his own sheltered life in Oklahoma City, by the many books now available to him in the library.
A Conversation With Ralph Ellison
Excerpts from interviews with ralph ellison from the New York Times.Category Arts Literature Authors E ellison, ralph
http://www.nytimes.com/books/99/06/20/specials/ellison-conversation.html

Extractions: A Conversation With Ralph Ellison he following is adapted from an interview with Ralph Ellison conducted last winter by Ishmael Reed, a novelist and poet, Quincy Troupe, a poet and anthologist, and Steve Cannon, a producer, at Mr. Ellison's home here. Mr. Ellison, a novelist and essayist, is Albert Schweitzer Professor of the Humanities at New York University. The complete interview will appear in the September issue of Y'Bird, a trimonthly magazine. This excerpt begins with Mr. Ellison's comment on Mr. Reed's observation that some white critics and intellectuals adopt an air of cultural superiority when they examine works by black artists. Ralph Ellison: Looked at historically, there is no question but that this society started out with a divided mind, if not with a divided conscience. Its founders asserted the noble idea of creating a free, open society while retaining slavery, a system in direct contradiction to their rhetorically inclusive concept of freedom. thus, from the beginning, racism has mocked the futuristic dream of democracy. The people who won their revolution by throwing the British off their backs and who declared that they were rejecting the hierarchical divisions of the past in the name of democracy began with their experiment loaded down with hypocrisy and wrapped up to their wigs in facile self-righteousness.
The Art Of John Coltrane And Ralph Ellison
Thesis discusses the Black American Experience through the work of iconic figures saxphonist John Coltrane and Invisible Man author ralph ellison.
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~wright/music/coltrane-ellison/paper.html

Extractions: The combination of economic exploitation and racism has made one facet of the so-called "Black American experience" poverty and degradation. One could cite a myriad of statistics about higher unemployment, lower wages, lower funding for schools, and disproportionate numbers of blacks in prison or on death row. And yet, that is only one side of a very complex story, one far too complex to be understood in terms of mere statistics, or to be discussed as an all-inclusive "experience." How can one take the lives of millions of people, with diverse conditions and interests, clump them all together, and talk about it in any meaningful way? How can one hope to explain such diverse things as jazz and the blues, the tremendous wealth of Black Literature, the Civil Rights Movement, Black Power, Malcolm X, Jimi Hendrix, Frederick Douglas, Richard Wright, Martin Luther King Jr., John Coltrane, Marcus Garvey, W.E.B. DuBois, Booker T. Washington, Clarence Thomas, the Million Man March, Louis Farrakhan, Wilson Goode, Tom Bradley, Rodney King and the Los Angeles rebellion in 1992
Creative Quotations From Ralph Ellison (1914-1994)
Quotes from ralph ellison to inspire your creative thinking
http://creativequotations.com/one/441.htm

Extractions: I'm not a separatist. The imagination is integrative. That's how you make the new by putting something else with what you've got. And I'm unashamedly an American integrationist. The antidote to hubris, to overweening pride, is irony, that capacity to discover and systematize ideas. Or, as Emerson insisted, the development of consciousness, consciousness, consciousness. The act of writing requires a constant plunging back into the shadow of the past where time hovers ghost-like. I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me.

Extractions: an excerpt from: Links to Ellison material [Corry first summarizes the narrative of Invisible Man. This excerpt begins as Corry is finishing this summary. He has described the narrator's strange journey through Liberty Paints and now arrives at the end of the novel, and summarizes it thus:] Thus he is ready for a new life. The latter part of the book touches, among other things, his involvement in the Brotherhood, i.e., the Communist party, his eventual disenchantment, a magnificently weird black nationalist, a riot in Harlem, and the hero's retreat into a coal cellar. Here, he says, he can enjoy his invisibility. Then he falls asleep, dreams that he meets all his antagonists and that he tells them he is through running. "Not quite," one says, and they advance on him with a knife. Then they castrate him, and he is free of all illusion. [Now he moves on to Ellison himself:] Fourteen years after the publication of the Moby Dick of the racial crisis, its author sits in the study of an apartment on the eighth floor of a building that is neither in nor out of Harlem, but on the fringe, along Riverside Drive, in an area distinguished more for its vitality than for its charm. He lives there quietly and well, thinking long thoughts that he sometimes puts into essays or reviews, and working on a novel that he has been writing and rewriting for 10 years.

Extractions: Ralph Ellison Born March 1, 1914, in Oklahoma City, OK; died of cancer, April 16, 1994, in New York, NY; son of Lewis Alfred (a construction worker and tradesman) and Ida (Millsap) Ellison; married Fanny McConnell, July, 1946. The American writer Ralph Waldo Ellison , b. Oklahoma City, Okla., Mar. 1, 1914, achieved international fame with his first novel, Invisible Man (1952). He was influenced early by the myth of the frontier, viewing the United States as a land of "infinite possibilities." The close-knit black community in which he grew up supplied him with images of courage and endurance and an interest in music. From 1933 to 1936, Ellison attended Tuskegee Institute, intent upon pursuing a career in music; his readings in modern literature, however, interested him in writing. In 1936 he moved to New York City, met the novelist Richard Wright , and became associated with the Federal Writers' Project, publishing short stories and articles in such magazines as New Challenge and New Masses . These early details of his life, set down in
